Wow! All the talk we've heard about the "Super-delegates" NO LONGER MATTERS. Hillary Clinton has locked up the majority of delegates even if you do not count the super-delegates at all.
Hooray for Hillary. What a magnificent and well-deserved victory.
Hillary Clinton spoke to our nation tonight through a beautiful, tough but gracious, optimistic, presidential speech. As a father of girls, it was very emotional for me.

Congratulations Terrell and Hillary! Her presumptive victory is certainly a positive indication that everything is going pretty well for working class Democratic families.. No big change needed or wanted by them. I was wrong about that. Of course Bernie isn't the perfect agent of change, a little too scary for most older folk. My fear is that, starting from the center, a President Clinton would let conservative Republicans drag our government farther to the right whereas Sanders would have at least held his ground. I will wait to hear what she says in the coming months. If she draws a line in the sand about Social Security, for example. She has such a broad agenda that I have no idea what her priorities are, what she will go to the mat for, and what she's willing to compromise when the deal-making begins. My main issue is still healthcare. Still too expensive and complicated. Bottom line, I'm glad a woman made it this far but I'm still concerned about THIS woman's policies.

Regardless of what comes next tonight is a great night in American history. I have been an outspoken feminist all my adult life. As the son, grandson, brother, uncle, nephew, husband, father, co-worker, friend, and teacher of girls and women I am thrilled to see this day come. Little girls, you too can aspire to a major party nomination for president!
To every little girl who dreams big: Yes, you can be anything you want—even president. Tonight is for you. |
